NO RECORD!
John Samuel Francis Dalton, of Dearborn, U.S.A., claims the eating championship of tfce world, having established the record of eating at one meal 12 dozen and eight oysters, three cups of coffee, one and a-ahalf quarts of wine, a box of biscuits and two slices of jelly cake. But he will still have to go some to beat Charlie Bradshaw, a gigantc half caste Maori, who lives away down at the other end of New Zealand. Sn the heyday of his gastronomcal greatness, the genial Southerner demolished thirty odd dozen oysters—big healthy Stewart Island oysters, which are much bigger than those we have round Auckland. Bradshaw’s mammoth “eat” was chalked up on the walls of an oyster eating saloon at the Bluff, where it yearly excites the admiration of North Island football teams visiting Southland. Tourng footballers have pretty good appetites, and several wellknown Rugby stars in Maoriland have attempted to beat Bradshaw’s record, but no one has got within cooee of it yet.
